I'll pass along your kind words to Bob. He's been working on this record for pretty much his entire adult life. Perhaps nobody is more thrilled than me to see it FINALLY out in the open (I recorded the first demos of it for him on a 4-track in 1993).
Also, you're like the third person who mentioned Gentle Giant. I'll pass that along too.
By the way, the track "Menager I" has Beatrix all over it. I didn't originally realize how prominent the organ was going to be mixed, in both the slow part and the heavy metal part (distorted Beatrix), but it's definitely evident. The clav stuff I did on one of the other tracks appears not to have made it into the final mix, but a lot of Mellotron (using Specimen and JackRack with Fons' 4-band parametric EQ) did.

A few weeks later in Rustburo City, the start of the new
season of Hoenn Pokemon Contests had finally began. As the groups of
coordinators and crowd onlookers gathered towards the contest hall
for the first of many contests, a certain blue haired coordinator
from Sinnoh was making her way to the hall as well.
"Alright!" the eighteen year old cheered. "The
start of another contest season! Oh all those battles, dresses to try
on and ribbons to win, I cannot wait to for all of that!"
"Piplup Pip!" her penguin Pokemon cheered as well.
"Well well, look want the Glameow dragged in."
spoke a familiar voice.
Dawn knew full well who's voice was referring to her and
she was ready for her. She had gone through her mind a million times
what that person would say to her and she was prepared and ready to
counter with her own remark this season. She tried making friends
with her but to no avail, so Dawn would not feel bad anymore if she
gave the girl in question a bad remark even if it was out of her
character to do so. As Dawn turned around however, she was met with a
most unexpected sight.
"Oh Ursu..." Dawn spoke till the sight her eyes
caught paused her talking. It was Ursula alright, but stood next to
her rival coordinator was another rival, but one she was very close
friends with. Zoey was stood next to Ursula sporting the same curled
hairstyle as Ursula, wearing a small black top that revealed a lot of
cleavage, while her navel was exposed in full view. Her trademark
blue jeans were not worn on Zoey but rather a black latex thong. The
only other things Zoey wore were black heels and a collar around her
neck with a leash attached to it and being held by Ursula.
"...Z-Zoey! What..."
"Surprised to see her?" Ursula grinned.
"Zoey, why are you dressed like that?" Dawn asked
her friend. "This isnt like you..."
"Oh Zoey has given up coordinating and instead has
decided to support my coordinating instead as my loyal slave"
Ursula ran a finger down Zoey's body from neck to thong.
"But why? Zoey, you loved being a coordinator! Why
would you pack it all in for something like this?"
"Because I love my Mistress Ursula." Zoey answered
in a cold tone.
Dawn's eyes widen as she felt like her heart has been
pierced by the sharpest knife.
"T-That can't be!" Dawn stuttered. "You can't
"Who I love and am loyal to has nothing to do with
you, you tramp." Zoey answered.
"Zoey, we're friends! How can say such mean things to
me?" Dawn started to get upset to the point of getting teary eyed.
"After everything we went through in Sinnoh, did that not mean
As if to rub it in her face, Zoey turned to Ursula and
began to make out with her, kissing her lips with great passion.
"I think she's answered your question." Ursula
poked her tongue out before engaging in more kissing. Unable to bear
watching anymore of this, Dawn ran off to the contest hall in a state
with Piplup running after her.
Sometime later, Dawn was in a dressing room in her pink
dress preparing for the contest. She tried to get her head into the
head, but she was unable to get the image of Ursula and Zoey being a
couple out of her mind. It wasnt even the fact they were an idea,
Zoey had devoted herself purely to Ursula to the point of being a
slave. All she could keep asking herself was why, Zoey was not close
to Ursula in any way during their time in Sinnoh, while Ursula was
beyond the friendliest person she had ever encountered. It just made
no sense in the short time between the Sinnoh Grand Festival and the
start of the Hoenn Contests they would be so close while Zoey had
completely shut off any feelings she once had for Dawn. Dawn went
through in her mind what she could of said or done to make Zoey feel
that way but she could think of nothing, only the closest and more
dear memories she shared with Dawn. Looking herself in the mirror,
she was reminded of the time Zoey brushed her hair, as well as all
the times she helped her out with contests. Even that time after she
won her first ribbon and lost twice afterwards, Zoey went out of her
way to go to her and was there for Dawn to pick her up. Dawn was
certain that had she not done that, Dawn would not be a coordinator
anymore. In-fact, Dawn had developed very close feelings towards Zoey
that day that had only grown with every time they bumped into each
other in Sinnoh. Hell, after the Grand Festival when they were alone
together, Dawn was just so close to telling Zoey that she loved her,
but she chickened out from fear of rejection. This time was different
however, as Dawn was ready to tell Zoey how she felt for her, and
ready for whatever the response would be, just like how she was
prepared for when she would see Ursula again but just like that, her
first reencounter had not gone so well.
"...maybe I shouldnt even enter this contest today."
Dawn sighed. "Today has been too much already..."
"Piplup!" her Pokemon tugged at the bottom of her
"Oh Piplup, if Zoey was still Zoey, she'd tell me not
to look down, get out there and perform to the best of my ability.
But now, I just don't know what to think. She has completely shut me
off and now thrown herself into Ursula's arms......wait, no. This
can't be right Piplup. Zoey would never do anything like this before!
Something must of happened to her! Yeah Ursula must
Dawn felt herself slipping into a daze as did Piplup,
like her head and her eyelids were beginning to feel very heavy.
Unable to start awake, she placed her arms on the dresser she was sat
in front and placed her head on top of them like a pillow, and fell
fast asleep, while Piplup collapsed on the floor in a more comedic
fashion. Just then, the door to her room opened as Ursula and Zoey
entered the room.
"Okay Jigglypuff, you can come out now!" Ursula
commanded. Out of a ventilation shaft, her Jigglypuff walked out and
jumped into her Mistress's arms. "Hehheh, you should do have a
talent of singing silently!"
"Jigglypuff!" the round pink Pokemon smiled before
returning into it's Pokeball.
"Right then Zoey, time we deal with our little
sleeping Sherlock before she messes with me this contest season!"
"Yes Mistress." Zoey obeyed.
When Dawn finally began to slowly awake, her surrounds
had changed. No longer in the dressing room she last remember being
in, she was laid down looking up at an unfamiliar white ceiling.
Looking to her sides, she was in what looked like a hotel room before
wondering why she could not move and why was it a little chilly. To
her horror, not only were her wrists and ankles tied to the bed posts
keeping her in an X position on a soft double bed, she was also
completely naked! Dress, underwear, even her trademark yellow hair
clips were all missing.
"W-What is this?" Dawn struggled at her binds,
unable to move even an inch. "Why am I here tie to this bed, and
why am I naked?"
"Oh I'm here to keep you from ruining my Mistress's
first contest!" Zoey stood out of her chair in the room, revealing
herself to Dawn. "If I'm right, she should be competing in the
second round already!"
"What? I've been out all that long? Where's
"Oh his sound asleep inside his Pokeball." Zoey
stroked Dawn's left side. "Not that you should be worrying about
him right now!"
"Zoey, please answer me! Why are you doing this? What
has Ursula don- * gulp *"
"Oh shut up." Zoey shoved a ballgag into Dawn's
open mouth, then quickly strapping it around her head. "Mistress
told me you might say anything to get yourself out of this, so she
made sure to give me something to shut your bitch mouth."
"Mrph Mrrph Mrrrphhhh!" Dawn moaned through her
gag. "Mrph Mrph Mrrrph Mrrrrrrphhhh!!!"
"Much better." Zoey grinned as she gave Dawn's
cheek a lick. "Now we can get on with a little fun."
As Zoey got on top of the bound coordinator, Dawn could
only lay there helpless and feel utterly embarrassed by the whole
deal. While she had fantasized about embracing with Zoey in the past,
she did not want it to happen like this, not in this circumstance.
Making matters worse, her body was shamefully getting aroused by the
whole scenario.
"Erect nipples I see." Zoey teased and laughed.
"You naughty, naughty girl!"
As if to punish Dawn, Zoey pinched and pulled hard on
both of Dawn;s nipples.
"MMMMMRRRRPPPPHHHH!" Dawn muffled through her gag,
only for the pain to subside when Zoey started to lick and suck on
her nipples. "Mrrpph Mrrrppphhh..."
Once finished, Zoey crawled backward dwn Dawn's body,
ensuring her chin stroked Dawn's navel along the way to her next
"Wet already huh?" Zoey grinned at Dawn's soaked
love lips. "Boy you really are a slut arnt ya?"
"MRPH?!?" Dawn looked down in-between her breasts.
She couldnt be wet down there she thought. Was she...getting turned
on about this ordeal? Sure she was attracted to Zoey, but she was in
bondage and being seduced by force. Was being tied up and dominated
really a thing for her?
"I'm in the mood for champagne!" Zoey licked her
lips. "Guess I better pop your cork to get some!"
"MRRPH MRRRRPPH!" Dawn shook her head back and
forth as Zoey moved forward closer and closer to her sweet spot. Soon
enough as soon as Zoey made the first upward stroke with her tongue
against Dawn's pussy, an immediate jolt of pleasure shook Dawn at her
core. "MMMMMRRRRRRRPPPPHHHHH!!!!"
"Like that, don't ya slut? How about this?"
Teasing Dawn some more, Zoey took a tiny nibble at
Dawn's erect clit. Not so hard, but certainly enough for Dawn to
"MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMRRRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPPHHHHHHH!" Dawn
screamed in pleasure more, letting out something she could not help
as a tiny squirt of love juice splashed on Zoey's chin.
"Yeah you liked that huh?" Zoey stroked her chin
then licked her fingers. "Now that I've had a sip, I want a full
Zoey resumed her quest for pussy juice as she continued
to eat Dawn out, licking and motioning her wet tongue in many
directions against the bound coordinator's inner vagina walls as well
as her lips, while also teasing Dawn's hard clit with her nose as
well as an occasional lick. Poor Dawn was in a pickle, unable to do
anything in her tied up position. As she wiggled and crossed her toes
together while clutching her fists, Dawn could feels herself losing
her mind to Zoey's pleasure. She could of tried to hold back the
building orgasm inside of her and not let Zoey win, however this was
exactly what Dawn had fantasized on all those nights thinking about
her best friend so holding back was not an option, especially with
her body in a sweat and every single stroke of Zoey's tongue causing
more pleasure jolts to shoot throughout her body. No choice, Dawn
erupted her most powerful orgasm in her life.
With the orgasm overflowing, Zoey began sucking the
sweet nectar coming out of Dawn, swallowing every drop until she
"Sweet..." Zoey licked her lips clean. "And I bet
Ash and Kenny could never do anything that amazing!"
Unaware that Dawn was still a virgin and being made to
believe by her Mistress that Dawn was a sluty girl that fucks boys
like Ash and Kenny all the time, Zoey crawled back up towards Dawn's
face as the blue haired damsel in non-distress breathed heavily,
while her eyes were a daze. It was there Zoey noticed something a
little odd.
"Say, your hair's gotten all scruffy." Zoey
noticed, then paused as she realized what it could mean. "Does your
hair just poof into scruffiness whenever you orgasm?"
"...Mrph..Mrph..." Dawn moan gentle to say "Ah
ha." though her mind felt blank from the orgasm.
"Ha, no wonder whenever we see you in the morning,
your hair is like that! You horny bitch!" Zoey laughed. Though
partly true, Dawn regular played with herself on regular nights. Her
hair certainly reacted oddly sometimes, like whenever her hair would
get zapped by electric attacks it would go all spikey, or when Piplup
Bubblebeams her hair it shines like a diamond, or indeed, when she
cums it would poof into a scruffy mess, hence why she would regularly
have morning problems trying to brush it neatly.
"A horny bitch indeed!" spoke a voice as Ursula
walked through the door and into the room before closing the door
behind her.
"Ah Mistress!" Zoey looked excited. "How did you
"First prize ribbon of course!" Ursula held up her
prize. "Piece of cake, now let's see how you've done with her."
Ursula walked over to Dawn then undid her gag. Dawn was
still dazed and numb from the neck up, barely noticing Ursula.
" Hmm, you really do get so dazed after you cum don't
you?" asked Ursula.
Dawn gently nodded her head.
"Well then, guess I best be quick!" Ursula began to
quickly undress herself until she was also naked. Once ready, she got
up onto the bed in a kneeling position above Dawn's dizzy head.
"There you go, now you can eat me out." Ursula
grinned, knowing full well that getting Dawn to do such a thing
without hypnosis would be all the more sweeter. "Just relax and let
your tongue do all the work! Then of course let my cum drain down
your throat!"
Not yet come to her senses, Dawn did as she was told and
accepted Ursula's pussy onto her mouth and began to stroke it with
her tongue just like Zoey did.
"Pussy..." Dawn's numb mind though. "...feel
"Oooo yes!" Ursula smiled. "Like that! Zoey dear,
make sure she stays this dazed and confused!"
"Yes Mistress!" Zoey got back to licking Dawn's wet
and sticky pussy again. As such, both the bound Coordinator and the
twisted curled Coordinator both left like heaven having their most
sensitive area massaged by tongues.
"AHHH, AHHHHH, YESSS!" Ursula moaned in pleasure.
"MMMMMMMMM...." Dawn moaned, giving off almost like
a vibrating sensation with her mouth before her head finally cleared.
".....Wait, what am I doing?!?" she thought to herself, realizing
where her mouth was forced againist and who she was pleasuring.
Ursula forced her cunt down even more.
"MMMRRRPHH MRRRRPPPHHHH!" Dawn moaned not from a
gag this time but from her rival's pussy against her mouth. She
wanted to stop licking Ursula, but her own pussy was getting the same
treatment from Zoey, who's every lick caused Dawn to keep licking
Ursula as if the pleasure joints from her pussy to her brain were
like orders from her brain to her tongue. She could only blush a
bright red as she could not stop herself.
"YESSSS, YESSSS! CUM WITH ME DAWN!" Ursula yelled.
"MMMRRRPPHH MMMRRRPPHH MMMMMMMMRRRRRPPPHHH!!!" Dawn
moaned in unison with Ursula's orgasmic moans as her rival came on
her mouth, inflating Dawn's cheeks by force while at the same time,
Dawn gave another almighty orgasm into Zoey's mouth. As her mind
entered another daze, Dawn swallowed the contents of her mouth,
forgetting what exactly it was she received.
"Ahhhhh, Ahhhhhhh..." Ursula puffed.
"Yes, she does lick a cunt good doesnt she?" Zoey
complemented Dawn. "No doubt she's licked her share of pussy too!"
Once Ursula caught her breath back, she got off of
Dawn's face and laid down next to her, admiring her bound rival.
"Boy, your hair sure has gotten most scruffy."
Ursula twisted a finger through Dawn's hair and wrapping it round her
finger. "And still very dazey too, I bet you masturbate very often
don't you?"
"Uh ha..." Dawn muttered, her numb mind answering
before thinking.
"How often, once a week?" Ursula asked.
"Once....day...." Dawn answered.
"Oh my, you really are a horny bitch arnt you?"
Ursula giggled.
"Well, that dazed mind of yours will be just right
for hypnosis! I better be quick..."
With that said, Ursula grabbed a Pokeball from her
discarded dress pocket from the floor to let out her Pokemon Hypno
onto the bed stood above Dawn's head.
"Hypno, Hypnosis." Ursula ordered. The Yellow
Pokemon performed its attack on Dawn's dazed eyes. Rather then put up
a fight, Dawn took all off the Hypnosis attack, drool a mix of her
own spit and Ursula's pussy juice ran down her chin and neck as her
mind numbed even more and her eyes looked even more empty then before
as open suggestion took over her thoughts.
"Wonderful! You can stop now Hypno." Ursula ordered
her Pokemon to stop then returned it to its Pokeball.
"Mmm, she's going to become like me isn't she?"
Zoey licked her lips in delight.
"You bet." Ursula winked at her slave. "Can you
hear me Dawn?"
"....yes." Dawn replied.
"Good, you're quite the horny bitch arnt ya?"
"I'm quite the horny bitch."
"Great." Ursula laughed, longing to hear such words
come out for Dawn's mouth for the longest time. "Who are you horny
for the most?"
"Oh ready? No wonder you came so hard when I played
with you!" Zoey laughed.
"Indeed." Zoey began to input her brainwash
template into Dawn's mind. "Everything you admire about Zoey you
will still think about. In-fact thanks to me, you'll love her even
more so. Expect it will not be Zoey you will love. From now on,
everything you feel about Zoey will now be directed towards me. You
will love me even more then her, while Zoey will be your partner in
serving me. Instead of being a secret, your love towards me is fully
acknowledged and I accept your love. You are willing to become my
love slave, doing everything that I say, even giving up your
ambitions as a Pokemon Coordinator to serve me as my sex obsessed
servant. Sex with me is the best, you will do everything I say in the
name of my body. When I clap my hands, everything I told you will be
your way of thinking for the rest of your life. 3...2...1...and..."
"Ooooo." Dawn moaned as her eyes blinked and her
new mindset was put into motion. "M-Mistress! Where..."
"Ah you're awake Dawn!" Ursula spoke. "You fell
asleep during our bondage role play. You came so hard, you must of
passed out!"
"I did?" Dawn muttered, trying her best to remember
before her mind just accepted whatever her Mistress told her. "Yes,
I did didn't I?"
"You sure did you horny girl. Come on, let's untie
you so you can show me your appreciation." Ursula began untying
Dawn's wrists while Zoey worked on the ankles. Once free, Dawn sat up
and launched herself onto Ursula, hugging and kissing her Mistress
passionately while their breasts pressed together. "Oh my, you
really want me don't you?"
"Yes Mistress. I love you sooo much!" Dawn
confessed her love for the millionth time, unaware it was actually
the first time.
"And I love you both." Ursula replied. "Come here
Zoey, don't be a stranger!"
"Yes Mistress!" Zoey crawled over while discarding her clothing, not once
questioning in her mind if Ursula did the same to her as Dawn, her
mind programmed so well it just accepted whatever her Mistress told
her. She joined with the other two, moving in forward enough so that
her breasts were also in contact with the other duo set of breasts
and her mouth also kissing Ursula at the same time as Dawn, as well
as licking each other's tongue and months.
"Ooooh fuck yeah, this is going to be hotter with
three girls!" Ursula thought in her mind. The rest of their evening
was full of many sexual acts, each one hotter and more full of lust
then the last.
Some weeks later, Ursula was competing in her next
Contest. It was a double battle and she Pokemon were doing well,
nearly at the point of winning the second round. Of course, Ursula
did have her personal cheering squad behind her cheering her on.
"Go for it Mistress!" Zoey cheering in her slave
attire and holding a pair of pompoms.
"You're the best Mistress!" Dawn cheered, wearing a
matching slave outfit to Zoey's and just like Zoey, her hair now
fashioned exactly like her Mistress's but still her national colour.
She was also shaking some pompoms in appreciation. The slaves cheered
the most when their Mistress won.
"YAY!!! OUR MISTRESS URSULA IS THE BEST!!!" Both
slaves cheered in union. "Oh this gets us soooo horny!"
Both slaves dropped their pompoms, embraced and made out
with each other. The mostly male crowd cheered as loud as the slave
were cheering for Ursula at the hot action going on. Their mindsets
adjusted to the hypnosis so well now, there was no going back to
their old lives or original memories, now so in love with Ursula as
well as each other. Ursula looked at her slaves and smiled.
"Hehheh. The only thing sweeter then this victory in
the "after party" celebration we're gonna have." Ursula licked
her lips.
After Ursula accepted her new ribbon, she walked off
with her slaves with a hand to each butt of her slaves to her hotel
The three had never been so happy in their entire
The End?

Have you ever said, "What's that sprouting up in my garden?"
I know I have a time or two.
You won't have to wonder once you finish with your Rock Markers. This is a cute and easy
DIY craft that you will want to share with all your garden friends. You are going to want to start
by collecting a dozen or so medium size smooth rocks. If you cant find the smooth ones any
rock big enough to paint and easily pick up would do.
The one to the left is a nice rock but it is too big for this garden craft!
The one to the right is the perfect size for our Rock Garden Markers.
Once you have found your just right rocks you will want to wash them
off in a hot bucket of soapy water.
You might just want to drop the rocks in
and let them soak for a few minutes. Be sure to wash all the dirt off. If you don't
your paint may come off in that area.
Now it's time to dry off. A large towel would work best. Wrap your rocks up and pat
pat pat! Allow them to dry over night to be sure no dampness remains.
Let the fun begin! Go to your nearest craft store and pick out some fun craft paint that
works for outdoor crafts.
You may want to think about what you want on your rocks before
you pick out your colors.
Once you have your design in place pick out your paint and paint brush.
You will want to spread out newspaper on your surface before you begin.
This craft can get a little messy depending on the age group. :)
Ones your art is finished you may want to cover it with a gloss finish. This can
be found at your craft store or Lows.
Happy Painting!
Are you missing the butterflies in your garden?
With this easy DIY craft you will soon be able to enjoy
watching butterflies flutter from flower to flower.
You will need:
1. Mason jar
2. lid
3. small sponge
4. strong string
5. sauce pan
6. sugar
7. bright craft paint
8. garden stickers
9. hammer
10. 1 nail
You will want to start by tapping a small hole through the top of your mason jar lid.
Next you will cut off a piece of the kitchen sponge and wedge it into the hole.
This is where your butterfly will feed. Next you will want to test your jar to
make sure the liquid does not leak out. For now you can add water and
turn the jar upside down to make sure it does not leak. Next you can
add the string that your feeder will hang from.
You will need 1 long piece about 6 feet long. this will wrap around your jar near the lid as well as
secure the other 2 pieces that will be used to support the sides of the
feeder as it sits upside down. Tie the 6 foot string around the ring of the
jar so you have an even amount on both sides.
Make sure it is nice and tight. Now you are going to tie 1 end of the 2 foot string to one side of the
string wrapped around the jar. Next you are going to tie the opposite end
of the 2 foot string to the other side of the jar. This will make a loop over
your feeder. Next you want to do the same thing with the other 2 foot string.
This time you are going to secure it to the opposite side of where the other
2 foot strings are attached. When you are done you should have 2 secure
loops that support the jar evenly on all 4 sides. Now you will need to decorate
your jar so that it will attract the butterflies as well as humming birds. You will
want to use bright colors and flower stickers for this. Finally you will need to
make the butterfly food. boil 4 cups water to 1 tablespoon sugar on the stove
until sugar is dissolved. Don't use too much sugar it can hurt the butterfly.
Allow time to cool and then add the food to the jar. Secure the lid and hang
about 3-4 feet above flowers so the butterflies can flind it. Now its time to sit back
and enjoy your new garden friends.
The sound of a wind chime on a cool fall night can be music to the ear.
If you are looking for a nice and easy DIY garden craft that will continue to
give the gift of a beautiful sound then you might want to creat a wind chime.
You can make a wind chime out of just about anything that makes a sound when
it bumps into each other.
Different objects make different sounds so you
might want to try a few sounds before you beging to create your wind chime.
Materials you may need:
strong string or thin roap
nice thick stick about 6 inches long.
screw driver
small saw
heavy fishing line or thin wire
sand paper
glass beads
old fancy keys
metal bottle caps
bailing wire
metal pieces
and so on...
This craft leaves a lot of room for creativity. It just depends
on the style and sound you are looking for.
There are many
neat ideas. If you go to google images and search wind chimes
you will see many great ideas.
Did you know that there are over 450 different strands of garlic?
I was excited when I heard the news! It made me start to wonder,
"What garlic am I getting in the little jar at my local super market,
Maybe I am missing out on something better?". With a little more
research I found that you can go online and order some of the
different types of garlic bulbs and plant them in your own back yard.
garlic is not complicated to plant and the time to plant is November.
After watching a YouTube video I learned how easy planting garlic can be.
The video I watched was planting garlic in a raised garden bed.
I learned that it's best to use string to section off your
garden into 1 square foot sections. It looks like
a over sized checker board. Next you want to peel open
the garlic bulb and separate each clove.
You want each clove to be planted about 5-6 inches apart.
You will have 4 cloves in each square foot. The
clove will have a little green stem pointing out of one end.
This is the side you want to plant up facing the sun.
The bulbs need to be planted under 2 inches of soil. This will
help protect the bulbs during the winter months.
If you live in a very cold climate area you will want to place some mulch
on top of your garlic bed prior to the first hard freeze to help protect them.
By next spring -summer you will be enjoying fresh garlic out of your garden.
The greatest part is that you won' have to go to the supermarket to make your
next garlic dish.
I love decorating my house with all the Fall colors. Pumpkins are usually a big part
of my Fall decor. I love pumpkins. I just wish they would last longer! Mine tend to
rot before the Fall season has ended. This year I have decided to try a few of the
tricks I have heard about for preserving pumpkins. There are a lot of suggestions
out their but it sounds like soaking my pumpkin in bleach water for 10-15 minutes
and then giving it a good rub down with Vaseline might do the trick. I just
want mine to last longer. If you are wanting yours to look sharp for the fall
season there are a few more suggestions out their. I also heard that they sell
a product that is called Pumpkin Fresh. I guess it works as well. Acrylic spray
paint was one of the suggestions for making your pumpkin look great as
well as last a little longer. I hope some of these pumpkin carving suggestions help.
Happy Carving.
I love to bake with my two young children. My daughters favorite thing to
do is crack the eggs. She started at 1 1/2 years old. You can only
imagine the amount of egg shells I had to dig out and throw away.
She is a lot better at cracking the eggs now that she is almost four.
I was reading about new garden ideas posted
on pintrest and I came across a few pages that talked about
saving egg shells to use in the garden. This caught my eye.
As I read I found out that you can use egg shells to keep pest out of your garden.
Some people let them dry out and crush them into a fine sand like consistency.
Next they place them in plastic containers to be sprinkled around their plants
as needed. Others just dig around their plants and throw the cracked egg shells in the hole.
The egg shells are used to keep Beatles, fleas, slugs, snails and other pest away.
I love to use organic any chance I get. Especially when
it is something my family will be eating. If you are looking for more more tips on what to

You will be very surprised to see how many different ways you can use your egg shells
in the garden and around the house.
As a child I always remember that special time of year spent with my family
going to the Fall Festival and picking out the Just Right pumpkin.I must of
been a pickey kid because it always took me the longest. I wanted my
pumpkin to be perfectly rounded on both sides and the brightest
orange out of all the other pumpkins. The best part of the whole
experience was getting it home and carving it. I vividely recall the cold,
wet, slimey feeling when reaching into my pumpkin to pull out all the
guts and seeds. My dad and brother would help set up a make
shif table in our driveway so we had a place to sit our pumpkins as we
carved. The next step was to decide what we wanted our pumpkin
to be. This was a challenge. We did not own the best
carving tools.
Mom would pick up the pumpkin carving kit from the local grocery
store. The knife and paper pattern was not easy to work with.
We would work for what seemed to be hours carving out our master piece.
Once we were finished we gathered up all our guts and seeds and placed
them into a big plastic bowl. I always remember it being dark before we
were finished which was perfect because we could light our candels and
place them into our pumpkins to display our master pieces for everyone
to see when they walked up our long and narrow sidewalk. After a few
minutes of gauking at our master pieces and deciding whose was the
best we would go into the house and begin the process of seperating
the pumpkin seeds from the pumpkin guts. This was a lonf and stickey
process. We would lay out newspapers on the kitchen table and place
the big plastic bowl in the center. Once we wre finally done we would
take half the seeds and spred them out on a cookie sheet to go into the oven.
We liked salt so we were sure to sprinkel a lot of salt all over the seeds
before we put them into the oven. The other half of the seeds we let sit
over night and in the morning we would take a small metal kitchen
spoon into the back yard and dig little holes placing two-four seeds
in each hole. We did not know much about gardening but it worked.
The following summer we had mounds of pumpkins growing in our
back yard! It was very exciting to watch them grow every day out our back picture window.
The cooler air is on its way. The tips of our corn stocks are golden brown and
almost ready for harvest time. A new season is upon us.
Our gardens have a few vacancy
and you ask yourself, " what can I plant during the fall season?"
The first thing you need to know is the average time the first frost
will strike in your area. Next you need to know how long your garden
plant needs to grow before it is ready to pick.
Some garden vegetables tend to grow better
during the cooler months of summer and into the fall months.
Broccoli lovers are in luck. On average
broccoli takes about 70 days to mature.
Brussels Sprouts take 90 days,
Cabbage takes 70 days,
Cauliflower takes about 60 days,
Lettuce takes about 60 days,
Radish takes about 50 days,
Rutabaga will take about 90 days,
and Spinach will mature in about 45 days.
Depending on what you want to plant each garden vegetable requires
some tender loving care.
It is best to talk to your local nursery about how to
grow your vegetables successfully in your area.
Wishing all my garden friends a happy fall harvest!

My upper back was extremely achy this week. I decided to
get a massage. What a GREAT idea! I felt a lot better.
The massage therapist suggested I go home and take a bath
in Epsom Salt. She informed me that it helps take the toxins
out of your body. I took her advice and soaked for 20 min.
I felt even better and I did not notice the tenderness she
warned me about following a deep tissue massage.
I decided to do a little digging and found that Epsom
salt is good for lots of things including our GARDEN!
Epsom salt Deters pest away, grows more flowers and helps your garden
grow bigger than ever before.
To make your homemade fertilizer for the garden
Dissolve 1 Tbs Epson salt in 1 gallon of water.
Water your plants with this solution once
a month. It works for house plants as well.
Epsom salt is not salt. It is a mineral that most soil is lacking.
Enjoy watching your garden thrive!

Requiring only one Wii Remote per player, up to four people can break it down at a time, as they follow on-screen choreographed moves set to classic dance tracks, covering a wide variety of musical genres and bringing everyone to the dance floor.
I started with Just Dance 2 and then ordered this one for more songs. I like the features of 2 so much that I don't use this one. It still has good songs but the dances are a little blah.
I purchased this for my 10 year old daughter's birthday and she loves it!! She and her friends are totally into it. I have enjoyed using it for a great work out too. Great for the whole family, all ages!!
this is a great game,fun for all, great workout.my grandaughter loves it, would recommend to all.the only thing i wish is that it had more songs i new on it, but that is not stopping me from playing it!!i love my wii, gets you up and off your rump !!!!!!!!!!! :)
BEST GAME EVER I LOVE THIS GAME!! works perfectly! and mine came in about 4 days!! awesome .i could not ask 4 a better price
Purchased as a Christmas gift so haven't had the opportunity to use however, the product is not unknown to me and I am certain it will be a hit.
This game is truly awesome and very helpful and lots of fun, I love it and my girls want to use it every day. They're asking me already for Just Dance #2. My daughter's and I recommend this to all, you will truly enjoy it. Excellent
Bought this after buying Just Dance 2. Not as many songs, but just as much fun.

Skysports.com understands Liverpool have agreed a pre-contract to sign Rennes midfielder Sylvain Marveaux.
Marveaux, who is out of contract at Rennes at the end of the season, has been a long-term target for the Reds.
Rennes are resigned to losing the 24-year-old when his contract expires and Liverpool are thought to have agreed a deal to bring Marveaux to Anfield.
The Premier League outfit are thought to have beaten off interest from a number of clubs to land the highly-rated winger.
Reds boss Kenny Dalglish is keen to bolster his options in wide areas and he sees Marveaux as someone who will help provide ammunition for new strikeforce Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez.
Liverpool director of football Damien Comolli has been pushing for a deal for Marveaux and he is expected to be the first of many arrivals at Liverpool this summer.

Has anyone had any experiences with these? Seems to be a smaller version of the leyland, but I'm not sure if this is true or not...
Thanks! |
Here is a link that might be useful: monrovia info
Follow-Up Postings:
I have 3 irish Eyes leylands out in the yard right now and I can't decide whether to plant them. I haven't been able to find much info on them online, maybe they're a new variety. But I am desperate for screening on a smallish (.20-acre) lot because the lot behind mine was clear-cut and now has a hulking 4000-sq-ft beige McMansion on it. :-/ I thought I could get away without having an evergreen wall, but considering I need screening and also that all my other plants look sort of adrift without a background hedge, it's looking more and more like I will be putting my Irish Eyes in and hoping they don't take off like crazy! |

I've planted 2 young Emerald Isle Leylands, 1 in ground 2 years, 1 1 year. They are both doing well. Both are in partial shade and will have to adapt to shade for their entire lives. Both have really shot up this fall. Their color is bright happy green. Have many other types of leylands, straights, naylors blues, lots of castlewellans, a spectacular Silver Dust. Bought the Emerald Isles for the bright cheerful green color and smaller eventual maturity. So far so good :-) Leylands take well to judicious pruning so they can be shaped and trained in the landscape. Eventually they can get very large. Mine (babies) have enjoyed summer sprinkler watering at night and slow-release mild fertilizer. The neighbor has some older ones (5 years) that already do not want as much water. A lot of ppl dislike leylands but I love them. Mine are fast and healthy. I've pruned an older one and it has healed well. |
'Moncal' originated in Britain and probably has an earlier name still in use there. If you see what appears to be the same plant described by British sources you can probably then find out about performance of older plantings there. There is a tall sheared hedge of what looks like 'Moncal' near me, it may be somewhat less vigorous than usual but is clearly still likely to produce a tall tree under suitable conditions. In an ordinary setting there is not much difference between a 100' tree and a 60' one, both are likely to be out-of-scale. Nurseries have a habit of making out cultivars with no visible dwarf characteristics to have mature sizes considerably smaller than usual for the species. |

Annie's Mailbox: Cousin's behavior concerning
Monday, November 1, 2010
Dear Annie: How do you get a mentally ill person to see a psychiatrist when he thinks he's perfectly fine?
I have a cousin who immigrated to the U.S. with his family a year ago. I believe he had some issues before they came, but the new environment and financial pressure finally buckled him.
Two months ago, he started interrogating his wife about her hundreds of alleged affairs and other nonexistent misbehavior.
Since then, it has become a daily ritual of verbal and sometimes physical abuse of his wife.
I live 300 miles away and have tried to talk to him over the phone.
When I suggested he see a doctor, he exploded. I feel helpless watching him destroy his family and himself.
I suspect he is schizophrenic or bipolar, but he refuses to admit he's ill, and I don't know how to get him to seek psychiatric help.
How can we get him to a doctor? Are there other resources available to them to deal with his problem?
— Trying To Help
Dear Trying: You cannot force your cousin to seek medical help, but you can try to protect his wife.
Suggest that she contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline (thehotline.org) at 1-800-799-SAFE (1-800-799-7233).
She may not realize this resource exists. If she won't call, you should, and ask what you can do to help them.
You also can contact the National Alliance on Mental Illness (nami.org) at 1-800-950-NAMI (1-800-950-6264).

Idli seems to be back with a vengeance. More outlets are selling the traditional South Indian snack in different flavours. Ever growing health consciousness is also a factor for the increase in popularity of the snack. Even restaurants and outlets that serve an array of Indian fast foods and snacks like dosa and upma the snack that is being highlighted is the idli. A chain of food outlets is named "Idli n Idli", but now the name seems to have become public property with others also giving the name to their food corners.
The multi-cuisine restaurant attached to Planet Fun, a gaming and food court, has increased the varieties of idlies on its menu from four to 20.
Other than the regular sambar idli and Guntur idli the restaurant is going to serve other spicy varieties like 'palak idli', 'semiya idli', 'crispy idli' and 'chilli idli'. The bakery section of the food court has come up with strawberry, butter scotch, pineapple and chocolate idlies.
Similarly there are idlies for the health conscious (wheat rawa and ragi), the herb aficionados (pudina) and the non-vegetarians (chicken keema). Only time will tell whether these exotic varieties of the snack will be savoured by the gourmets. Unique in the new variety of idlies are the sandwich and sweet and sour idlies. The sandwich idli is a regular sandwich made out of bread with idly as filling. The restaurant gets orders for idli even during lunch and dinner. In this way the customers are being provided greater variety. The restaurant to promote idli eating is conducting a idli eating contest at 5.30 p.m. on Saturday. There are gift coupons for those who can eat the maximum number of idlies in 90 seconds.
Keywords: Vijayawada restaurants, idlis, South Indian snack, varieties of idilis

Comments about Staples® Adhesive Bubble Rolls, 12" x 175', 1 Roll: I bought this product hoping it would mean less time wrapping parts since I wouldn't have to use tape. It's more like bubble wrap tape than plastic wrap. The sticky side sticks to everything but my pieces aren't flat so it doesn't conform well enough to look great. Also, it was thicker than my usial bubble wrap so cutting off pieces took longer. My "time-saving" idea turned into a wasted hour of frustration before I abandoned the product and wrapped everything as I had been doing, with bubble wrap and tape.

In the Export settings in 2012, if you customize the line styles in the Line tab or the fonts in the Text & Fonts tab, how do you Save those settings for future use or for use on another project?
These options are a great addition, but at my office, We have numerous clients all with different Line, Font, Pattern (and more) preferences. I need to be able to set these tabs up and save them for use in other projects for the same client.
Ideally id like to see a text file or something I could edit for each tab that could be loaded like the layer settings tab?
did you miss the buttons to the lower left of the dialog? Create new, duplicate, rename, or delete a "export setup"?
I played with it, but it doesn't seem to actually create a new export TxT file like you could in 2011. it only seems to save the settings in that project. In 2011 once you have your layer settings set you could Save as and it made a TXT file you could import into another project. I thought you could in one of the earlier Bata's 2012 I was testing too, just not in the released one.
you use Transfer Project Standards to take the export settings from one project to the next. Also, these saved settings can live in your office template, and then will alway be available to your staff.
That sounds great for an office that only has a couple standards. Unfortunately We have multiple (50+) different client standards and that is what I need to avoid. I maintain only a small handful of templates and import the external files depending on the client standard. So now I'm going got have to maintain 50+ different templates? I don't want to have 50+ export settings in my default template....
On another note… what is with the Dodge Viper (in the site) and the BMCD2 (in the furniture) categories? They have been there forever and there is no dodge viper or furniture in my file. I used to just delete them from the text file, Am i stuck with them now?.
I am also wondering why the functionality of being able to export to a .txt file has been eliminated... Our consultants often use our Revit Model to export their own AutoCAD files on their end based on the views they need, and we like to give them the layer export.txt file for this. But now in 2012, when we make changes to the layer settings for exporting, we can't export those settings to a new .txt file? Someone please clear this up.
2013 seems to have the same problem, too bad.
In fact, the ability to save DGN levels as a txt file was still a possibity in 2012, but was elinated in 2013... This seems like an intentional action by Autiodesk, although it is a loss of functionality from my perspective.

The President in the Middle East
Ed. Note: On Facebook? Join the discussion and watch the speech on our new White House Live Facebook application, if not tune in at 6:10 AM to WhiteHouse.gov/live. [Update: The President has concluded his remarks, check back later for transcript and video.]
The history of the relationship between America and Muslim communities is deeper and more complex than the common perception might suggest. Thomas Jefferson taught himself Arabic using his own Quran kept in his personal library, and had the first known presidential Iftaar by breaking fast with the Tunisian Ambassador at sunset. President Dwight Eisenhower attended the dedication ceremony of the Islamic Center in Washington, D.C. on June 28, 1957. President Bill Clinton issued the first presidential greeting for Ramadan, appointed the first Muslim American ambassador, M. Osman Siddique, to Fiji, and sent the first presidential Eid al-Adha greeting to Muslims. And one year after President George W. Bush placed the Holy Quran in the White House library in 2005, Representative Keith Ellison took the oath of office on the same Quran owned by Thomas Jefferson two hundred years before.
With his speech in Cairo, the President will lay another marker, addressing America's relationship with the Muslims around the world in the heart of the Middle East. Whereas the past years and decades have deepened the rift in that relationship, the President will seek a new start by opening up a serious, honest dialogue to find areas of common interest where we agree, and new ways of communication where we do not. By continuing unprecedented outreach to Muslim communities, the President is strengthening national security and opening up new opprtunities to address some of the problems that have seemed so intractable over recent years.
The speech will be given at 1:10 in the afternoon in Cairo, 6:10 in the morning here in Washington, D.C. No matter where you are, watch it live on WhiteHouse.gov/live. For those abroad, sign up to get text updates in Arabic, Urdu, English or Persian at America. gov.
UPDATE: In advance of the speech tomorrow morning, we thought we would share with you a few stories of Muslim Americans who are proudly serving their nation in the federal government. Check out the video:

A wildly successful alternative to traditional day spas—its more than 300 locations blanket 36 states and half a dozen countries—Planet Beach is a futuristic relaxation station where state-of-the-art machines administer all the spa and tanning services. These friendly automatons sometimes replace familiar treatments, as in the Luminous facial, a light-based service that delivers blemish-busting results similar to those of a conventional facial. But other equipment maps out new spa territory entirely: the Hydro-Derma Fusion chamber moisturizes the whole body with nutrient-rich steam in order to offset the effects of a dry climate or a rear-end collision with a salt truck. Other machines whiten teeth, spray tan skin, and massage muscles.
Planet Beach operates on a gym-style membership system, meaning that members purchase packages or pay flat monthly rates. As members spend more time at the spa, they get to know the helpful assistants who are always on hand to demonstrate how to use the equipment without activating its ability to cry.
Palm Beach Tan's Smart Tan–certified staff infuses road-weary body bark with youthful beauty using sunless spray tanning and red-light therapy. The patented Mystic HD System bronzes bods via a gentle, UV-free mist in the privacy of an individual chamber. After skin starts with a caressing primer from flowing heated air, automated airbrush sprayers then spritz the body with polarized tanning particles, whose magnetic attraction to skin ensures an evenly distributed glow free of streaks, creases, and the neon remnants of used rave glow sticks. Maximum bronze is in effect after 24 hours, but each tan will last up to six days. Mystic's tans are paraben free and packed with skin playmates such as açai and green tea to aid pelt health as well as appearance.
Fantastic Sams is a full-service salon for the whole family that sculpts wilted hair into a look-twice hot commodity. All cuts start with a soothing shampoo using Fantastic Sams' signature line of products. With today's deal, tired tresses will also be treated to a moisture-melding deep-conditioning treatment to seal in shine and undo dryness and damage from sandbox headstands. After stray strands are snipped away, the lush remaining locks are blown dry as hair is sculpted into an irresistibly manicured mane. Each of Fantastic Sams' confidence-renewal centers is staffed with follicle fanatics who will whisk worries away with precision and kindness.
Glamour Nails' attentive technicians prune digit-top gardens and mollycoddle extremities in a contemporary upscale boutique suited for wedding parties or parties of one. Amicable aestheticians apply OPI products to fingernails, clip cuticles, and massage hands (a $13 value), dipping the hard-working appendages into warm liquid paraffin, encouraging deeper absorption of emollients, essential oils, and the shock of overenthusiastic high-fives (a $5 value). Meanwhile, feet beat a hasty retreat from stress and coarseness with a pedi-massage and a gentle rubbing that whittles away calluses and excess skin. Keratin pruners then shape and polish toenails until they gleam like a waxed sunbeam (a $30 value). From fingernail to heel, the entire process takes about an hour and 15 minutes.
Brandye Jagneaux draws on two decades of experience in the beauty industry to helm Salon Capelli Couture's staff of hairstylists. She doesn't need to watch them too closely, as each comes equipped with her own wealth of styling experience. Megan Louque counts herself among this team of experts. When she isn't cutting hair into flattering shapes or brightening strands with partial or full highlights, she relaxes unmanageable kinks with keratin treatments, making sure not to splash the straightening formula on the curly fleur de lis designs that adorn the salon's walls in tribute to Louisiana's heritage. Sometimes, Megan's love for local culture can be quite pronounced—she and her fellow stylists have been known to dye hair purple and gold for upcoming LSU football games.
The aestheticians and massage therapists at The Cabana Retreat pamper clients with a full array of facials, mani-pedis, and massages. Beauticians adroitly apply makeup and make nails gleam for special events, such as homecoming dances or live reenactments of E.T.. Equipped with haircare products from Paul Mitchell and Lanza, stylists help rejuvenate hair and restore its sheen.

Review: 'We Need To Talk About Kevin' Has Problems Beyond Its Poor Communication Skills
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on December 9, 2011 | Comments (1)There are few human connections as assured and indelible as the bond between a mother and her child. At least, that's what we're led to believe. But what happens when that connection simply isn't there? What happens when these two beings physically part ways after existing as one for nine months only to see their emotional tethering end as well? We Need to Talk About Kevin explores that theme to a tragic and painful conclusion, but it does so with a beautiful emptiness. Style trumps content in an effort to examine the origin of a monstrous act, but while the film seems content letting everyone blame the mother (including the mother herself) for what eventually happens it never passes up an opportunity to show the child's inherently evil nature. Neither of them change or grow from beginning to end, but the lack of a real narrative or character arc sure does look pretty.
Comedy is probably the most subjective genre of all, and what makes one person shoot milk from their nose in laughter may make another person yawn. To that end I'm happy to point out that two of the year's funniest movies are hitting DVD today. They're both perfectly cast and filled with plenty of laugh out loud moments, and that's a guarantee. Whether or not you respond appropriately to them is your business… but I recommend soy milk as the nasal spurting liquid of choice. As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. Erik the Viking (UK) Erik (Tim Robbins) is a really nice guy, but he's a pretty shitty viking. Weary of looting and pillaging, and having never really discovered a taste for rape, Erik convinces his fellow vikings to head to sea in search of the legendary Rainbow Bridge. In addition to featuring the funniest "rape" scene ever filmed, Terry Jones' mash-up of ridiculous comedy and adventure is a lot of fun. It sits comfortably somewhere between Jabberwocky and Time Bandits, and fans of the Monty Python boys should give it a chance if they haven't yet. Arrow Video's new (re)release includes both the original theatrical cut and a much faster moving director's son's cut plus tons of extras. **NOTE – This is a region2 DVD which requires either a region-free player or the willingness to watch on your PC.**
The Reject Report Goes Back to Class
Box Office By Jeremy Kirk on June 3, 2011 | Be the First To CommentAnd I hope they're teaching math. But this class is probably more about learning skills like flinging energy beams from your eyes or learning how to hone you telekinetic abilities. I kind of wish I had some of those right now. That way I'd know exactly how many audience members will be attending X-Men: First Class this weekend, and my numbers will be a bit more accurate than they were this time last week. Thanks a lot, Kung Fu Panda 2. Regardless, it seems pretty evident First Class will come in #1 this weekend, as it opens unopposed. That is, if you consider the gargantuan second weekend Hangover Part II is likely to have. Still, I'm sticking with my guns. First Class all the way, but its debut might not be as astonishing as some would hope. Let's look into that more right now.

It's rather because of USB2 stack on WIndows becoming more solid.
There were times when some M-Audio's USB2 interfaces couldn't be used
on Windows at all due to IRQ collisions. A friend of mine gave up on
one and exchanged it to a FireWire interface some 6 or 7 years ago,
and that was quite common.
So, I thought about this, but then again I couldn't find much info on
actual rejection of FireWire by vendors as in numbers, stats etc. So I
thought I'd rather skip it.
Thunderbolt is an interesting approach, but I've yet to see a single

Discover the Future of Brazilian Electronic Music on 'Hy Brazil Vol. 4'
From sunrise techno to mutant funk carioca, Brazil marches to its own beat
Five hundred years ago, sailors spoke of a phantom island shrouded in mist called Hy Brasil. This mythical rock had nothing to do with South America; the name is believed to derive from an Irish clan name, and the island was thought to lie somewhere in the North Atlantic. The Hy Brazil compilation series, on the other hand, is an explicitly Brazilian proposition, one designed to showcase an emerging generation of electronic-music producers scattered across that vast and varied land.
That the series' curator, Novas Frequências artistic director Chico Dub, should draw inspiration from the European sailors' tale seems fitting, because the object of Hy Brazil's search is equally elusive. Like its predecessors, Hy Brazil Vol. 4 asks a simple question: What is the sound of contemporary Brazilian electronic music? The answer, it turns out, is excitingly nebulous.
Brazil's 40% Foda/Maneiríssimo label — home to seixlacK, who also featured on Hy Brazil Vol. 1 — has recently hipped northern listeners to Brazil's emerging scene for left-field electronic music, and it's well represented here. Manara's "Man, Mytho" is sunrise techno in a Joy Orbison-meets-Underworld vein. Bruno Belluomini's "P95G" is a descendant of Chain Reaction's lush-but-linear school. Hip-hop's long history in Brazil comes through in songs by Secchin and No Step, while Carrot Green and Ney Faustini pursue deeper strains of downbeat house and slow-motion breakbeats, and ALDO prove that the spirit of LCD Soundsystem is alive and well in São Paulo.
For those in search of more recognizably local color, Som Peba's "Pagodão Porra" flips Bahian pagode into buzzy trap-rave, and ASShake's "Picole" is a lumbering funk carioca mutation. The "deep baile" act Rio Shock, meanwhile, put a uniquely carioca twist on classic acid house. (Don't miss their stunning "Moleque Transante" video, either.)
Name your own price to download the entire compilation on Bandcamp, along with the three other volumes in the series. Coming up, Chico Dub promises a volume dedicated to canção — that is, he says, "what people think of as Brazilian music, but with some radical new approaches."

When I worked as an "individual contributor," I always received very good ratings, recommendations and comments from my managers. I thought I was just doing my job.
But, when I became a manager, I found out that my definition of "doing my job" was quite different than most other people's definition of doing my job. Here are three things that will make your manager worship you.
You prototype your work
Too many of us get a task from their manager they think they understand and then happily turn in the work one week later -- only to find out it is nothing close to what the manager wanted.
To be fair, often the manager doesn't know what the output of the work needs to look like, but not prototyping your work means neither of you get to correct expectations.
Great employees do a portion of the work to completion (say five slides of a 50-slide presentation...), take it to their manager and ask if this is the right stuff for the task or project. Is it the right level of detail for the audience? Is it the right format? Does it have too many bullet points and not enough pictures?
Taking a completed example of the work to the manager will clear up tons of misunderstood expectations. And your personal brand will be "proactive" rather than "never gets everything right."
You deliver quality work on time
We're all interconnected in the work we do. When I'm done with something, it needs to go on to the next step for that person (your manager) to do their part. Then, perhaps, it goes further when your manager is done with the work as well.
Now you don't deliver your work on time -- even if you've done the prototyping of your work -- and you then force everyone else along this chain of deliverables to change their expectations about how much time they have to do their work. Now they have to work longer hours to honor their time commitment. Now they don't get to do the last quality check on their work because they didn't have the time.
Getting the work done on time means your personal brand is "you can count on me to get the work done" rather than "never does anything on time so build in an extra week if you don't want to go crazy."
You deliver bad news early
Most people wait way too long before delivering bad news or asking for help when they don't think they can get done with their work. Sometimes it's an "I can do this" attitude that blinds the person to the reality of the time. Sometimes it is an unwillingness to ask for help because it will make the person look weak (what's your biggest weakness??). Sometimes it is an unwillingness to give your manager a heads-up if something bad happens such as another manager bad-mouthing the department and that person's manager going to talk to your manager about it.
Good managers want bad news early. They want it early because then there is still time to fix it and deliver stuff on time. They want it early because when you "dig up your own mud," you can initiate actions to fix the problem. Then when asked about the problem, the manager can say they already know about it and have done these X steps to go fix it. And they get the reputation of proactive and on top of their business.
Bad managers don't want to hear bad news and will label you with a "negative" attitude when all you are doing is trying to make sure you get your stuff done on time and with quality. So you'll need to know your manager here on delivering bad news.
With good managers, delivering bad news early means your personal brand is "proactive" and "wants to get the work done on time by eliminating roadblocks." With good managers, delivering bad news late means your personal brand is "unable to communicate bad news" and "doesn't understand the work well enough to know when the project is in trouble."
Wouldn't it be a lot more fun if your manager worshiped your work?

Tanzania fights maternal mortality, registers misoprostol for postabortion care services
(DAR ES SALAAM, TANZANIA) In 2007, Tanzania became the second country in Africa to register misoprostol for use in prevention and treatment of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), or excessive bleeding after childbirth, the leading killer of mothers worldwide. Three and a half years later, on January 13, 2011, the Tanzania Food and Drugs Authority took another step towards improving the lives of women with the approval of an amendment to this registration to include treatment of incomplete abortion and miscarriage.
Globally, complications of abortion are the second leading cause of maternal death, attributable to an estimated 21.6 million unsafe abortions worldwide annually (data from 2008; WHO, 2010). This regulatory approval in Tanzania paves the way for expanded access to misoprostol for life-saving postabortion treatment. After establishing programs to educate health care providers and communities on misoprostol for PPH, VSI and a coalition of government and nongovernmental partners are committed to increasing access to these easy-to-use tablets to address this other important cause of preventable maternal mortality.
Tanzania is the fifth country in the world to register the generic tablets for use in postabortion care. With support from VSI, Mozambique, Kenya, Malawi and Zambia have also taken this important policy step in efforts to reduce maternal deaths related to complications of abortion.

2013 and earlier-Subaru Outback Prices Paid and Buying Experience
lskinner Posts: 8"So far warranty repairs on my new Outback have been done satisfactorily."
Satisfactory is of course better than unsatisfactory.
But the best is if the car never needs warranty service. Because if you bring the car in for warranty service, it's inevitably time and aggravation.
For example, I never had to bring my 2000 Honda Accord in for warranty service ever. Maybe I'm spoiled, but this seems like a reasonable expectation to me for a modern car. -
ateixeira Posts: 72,587That takes some luck. Few cars are perfect. In fact I'd wager that most people that say that simply don't notice problems that do exist.
Honda had issues with their auto trannies on some of the V6 models right around then, so you probably had the 4 cylinder (either that or you were lucky).
-juice -
xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,734No, I would agree with that. But, I also agree with juice. I have no problem with needing to use a warranty. The point of a warranty is to work out any problems that are a result of manufacture.
I am not happy with the fact that all of my warranty problems thus far are most likely to recur but, were I less picky about it, none of them actually affect the performance of the vehicle - just the enjoyment of it.
In the end though, if warranty work is needed, my preference is for it to be done well and without hassle. That is satisfactory (to me), and that is how it has thus far been performed.2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon -
dmathew347 Posts: 79Does anyone have recent prices paid on the 2007 Subaru Legacy Wagon (2.5i) Automatic in the Washington area or just about anywhere in the country? No extra options needed, just the 2.5i automatic wagon.
The reason is that i've been to about 7 dealers already and i'm getting totally conflicting reports. Some are willing to sell at almost (invoice - $750). But then others won't budge any less than 1000 below MSRP. My friend bought one recently for $1300 below invoice + TTL. Some dealers say supply is tight, and demand is high. But i think supply is pretty good, and everyone really is going for the Outback.
I am now aiming for (Invoice - $1000.00 + TTL). Is this reasonable.
Any input would be appreciated ! -
mb789 Posts: 89Should you buy a Subaru? I bought an '06 Forester X a year ago. I would give this Forester a grade of B- to a C. It is an O.K. car, but has lots of little annoyances. The main problem is engine hesitation. I have been at many intersections and accelerate to turn left, and the car doesn't do anything for a second or two. Then, the engine REVS and it sounds out of control. The paint on my Forester is not very durable. The plastic parts under the hood are cheap. The dashboard plastic over the guages squeaks. Often when driving, it smells like hot antifreeze. I don't know if it's just this particular car, or if they are all like this. I would not believe car magazines that give this car a top rating and rave about their quality. If I had it to do over again, I may have purchased the Outback or some other make. I don't think I would buy another Forester, at least not the basic model. I haven't heard if Subaru as a company is investigating alternative fuel sources, so I don't know where they stand as far as innovation. They just seem to be doing more of the same, but maybe most of their customers have the opinion that if it works don't mess with it.
dmathew347 Posts: 79
lskinner Posts: 8I imagine that the Subaru cheerleaders here will tell you to take your car in for warranty service. But in my limited experience, it's hard to get satisfactory warranty service for annoyances. I suspect that Subaru of America underfunds its warranty program. So the dealership's incentive is to bob and weave to get out of performing warranty work.
lskinner Posts: 8The way I see it, SOA is morally and legally 100% responsible for the actions and inactions of the dealer as far as honoring warranties goes.
If somebody hires me to perform services, and I delegate those services to Mr. Incompetent who screws things up, am I gonna shrug my shoulders and say "Hey, I have no control over Mr. Incompetent"? Of course not. I'm going to apologize and do everything I can to make things right. And I will fire Mr. Incompetent if he doesn't clean up his act.
Just my humble opinion. -
paisan Posts: 21,181Unfortunately SOA can only do so much to control the dealers. As Juice said, if SOA doesn't know you aren't being serviced, they can't possible fix the problem. It would be like getting a bad Hamburger at Burger King, telling the store it's bad, them not doing anything, then you complain that Burger King Corporate isn't doing anything to help you. They can't help what they aren't aware of.

samghosh Posts: 2Well I recently bought an Outback. However initially I was interested in the Legacy Wagon 2.5i (Limited). Believe me in Indianapolis they could not find a single one in the neighboring 5 state. Also I went to 3 dealerships and I found only 2 Legacy Wagon 2.5i automatic in one dealership only. It seems to me for some reasons Legacy Wagons are scare to find.
mrosato33 Posts: 2Just leased an '07 2.5i Outback and wanted to give feedback and advice for purchase or lease for any vehicle.
1) Go at the end of the month
2) Use Edmunds dealer quote to obtain internet quoted from dealers. I received 4 quotes and all were well below the price offered at the dealership. I asked the sales manager about it and he said that internet quotes are "always" lower. My price was 22175 on a 2.5i outback wagon, a full 1550 under invoice with a money factor of .0024 and a residual of .58 on a 36 month lease. $485.00 down. The dealer thas sent me that quote was about 45 minutes from my house...so I literally had the dealer close to my home print the email and show it to his finance manager. We shook hands 30 seconds later. Hope this helps someone in their buying/leasing experience. -
dmathew347 Posts: 79
smittynyc Posts: 291I'm confused . . . why wouldn't you just buy one from the same dealer your friend did?
Anyway, the dealers might be telling the truth when they say the SE wagon is in short supply. When I bought mine in Dec, there was only one in silver at all of the dealers in the greater NY/NJ area, e.g., and I haven't seen one in silver since.
A quick inventory check reveals that most of the dealers up here don't have any SE wagons in stock, and at this late date, I doubt the cavalry is coming. You can find a couple at some of the big-volume stores -- almost always in one of the two blue colors.
FWIW, I paid $21500 + TTL. That includes the $750 rebate, but I also got some options (fogs, roof rack, splash guards, cargo tray, nets, mats), and up here we get the PZEV emissions equipment($200). According to Edmunds, that's roughly $1500 under invoice. -
dmathew347 Posts: 79How is $21500 the invoice price. According to Edmunds, the invoice for the 2.5 Se is $20,551 - $750 rebate + $625 destination (before TTL and processing) ?? So shouldn't it be $20426 + TTL + Processing ?
Just wanted to clarify, i just want a good price to shoot for before heading out next weekend to purchase. -
smittynyc Posts: 291I checked -- you're looking at sedan pricing, not wagon.
Base Edmunds invoice for the wagon -- $21645
Invoice cost of options/PZEV emissions -- $786
Destination (I counted that in my total)--$625
If it is a sedan you're after, those seem to be in much greater supply than the SE wagons. At most I would offer invoice minus rebate, and you could probably do a little better than that, even. -
tpowley Posts: 1Hi there Cath,
I was scouring the forums looking for advice on buying a Subaru extended warranty and came across this post. I decided to give Lee from Stacy Subaru a call since he gave you such a good deal. He was still there and was able to help me out, beating all the other competition's quotes by a considerable amount. I am very happy with the experience and just wanted to let you know this.
